This frame covers 按照 vs. 根据. 按照 + rule, plan or standard + action. The handout gives the full form, meaning, boundary and examples.
This frame covers 不得不 vs. 只好. Both words say you are pushed into something unwanted. **不得不** means no other route is open, so the act is forced. **只好** means you take the remaining choice, the one you like least. **不得不** sounds firmer, in speech and in writing. **只好** is the everyday way to say you settled. The handout gives the full form, meaning, boundary and examples.
This frame covers 不断 vs. 不停. 不断(地) + verb. 地 is the usual link. The handout gives the full form, meaning, boundary and examples.
This frame covers 反而 vs. 却. The subject may come before **反而**, or **反而** may come before the subject. The handout gives the full form, meaning, boundary and examples.
This frame covers 根本 vs. 到底. In this pair, **根本** means "not at all" or "simply" and sharpens a following 不 or 没. **到底** pushes for the final truth: "on earth" or "exactly" in a question, and "after all" or "in the end" in a statement. A **到底** question is direct and can sound pressing, so use it when you truly want an answer. Outside this adverb use, **根本** can be a noun meaning "root," as in 根本原因. That noun is a different job. The handout gives the full form, meaning, boundary and examples.

This frame covers 根据 vs. 据. 根据 is the everyday word, in speech and in writing. The pattern is 根据 + source + clause. The source usually has two or more characters, and it is often a full phrase: a report, a rule, or a written note. 根据 is also a noun meaning "basis". 没有根据 means a claim has no basis. The handout gives the full form, meaning, boundary and examples.
This frame covers 恢复 vs. 还原. 恢复 means to recover or restore something damaged, interrupted, or lost. Typical partners are health, order, a service, confidence, and a normal routine. The pattern is 恢复 + noun. The handout gives the full form, meaning, boundary and examples.
This frame covers 居然 vs. 反而. 居然 means "to one's amazement". It flags an astonishing fact, and you may add a comment. It needs no story of one result replacing another. The pattern is 居然 + fact (+ comment). The handout gives the full form, meaning, boundary and examples.
This frame covers 一度 vs. 一时. 一度 means "at one time", a past phase, often a difficult one. The pattern is 一度 + past verb phrase. 一年一度 means "once a year". 一时 means "for a moment" or "just now", and the window is short. The pattern is 一时 + verb, often with the sense "cannot … right now", as in 一时想不起来. Both are everyday words. 一年一度 is also a set phrase on notices. The handout gives the full form, meaning, boundary and examples.
This frame covers 一直 vs. 一向. 一直 is one unbroken line. The action continues the whole time, and the line can run into the future. A promise uses 会一直 + verb. The pattern is 一直 + verb. The handout gives the full form, meaning, boundary and examples.
